You probably are a "visual" as opposed to an "auditory"...

Neither one is a sign of more intelligence than the other but "visuals" almost need to multi task or be involved in something where there is plenty of action...

My wife is very "visual" and she can talk on the phone, listen to the TV and write something down simultaneously...

I am an "auditory" ...I can walk and chew gum at the same time but those are about the only two activities that I can successfully coordinate...

I believe that the difference in the two types of individuals is due to the fact that "visuals" have a rather short attention span... whereas the "auditories" can remain deeply focused on a subject for a much longer period of time...

That being said, I would suggest that the best way for you to be more productive would be to work on two constructive projects at the same time and alternating frequently between these two projects...

If you have been able to read this entire post without being distracted... you are doing pretty good...
